Generally I would not refer so strongly to a prior discussion thread if the latest information did not absolutely confirm what was originally suspected.

On January 10th, 2017 we discussed “The Anatomy of a Modern Political Smear“, where we connected the dots, as they were happening in-real-time between James Comey, the Obama intelligence community and the media, specifically CNN. {Please See Here}

Yesterday, two events happened which absolutely confirm -with demonstrable certainty- what we immediately saw over 15 months ago. The first event was the appearance of James Comey on CNN to discuss his book. In part of the questioning by Jake Tapper, Comey admitted his January 6th briefing of the Steele Dossier content was ONLY about the Russian hookers, pee-tapes, and ridiculous sexual accusations against the President-elect. [CNN Transcript]:

TAPPER: So, let’s talk about the investigation and what you can talk about it. In January, 2017 when you met with President Trump and you did that oral presentation of what’s in that two page memo, summarizing the Steele dossier. We know from the book that you talked about these unverified allegations involving him and prostitutes.

Did you brief him about any — any of the other things in the Steele dossier, claims that his associates, Michael Cohen or Paul Manafort, were potentially working with the Russians? Or was it only about the prostitutes?

COMEY: It was only about the salacious part of it.

TAPPER: Why? Why only about that?

COMEY: Because that was the part that the leaders of the intelligence community agreed he needed to be told about because we knew it and thought it was about to become public. And if it was true, we didn’t know whether it was true, it would be important to let him know this as part of a defensive briefing. (link)

The second event, was the actual release of the Comey memo describing that January 6th, 2017, briefing as directed by “the leaders of the intelligence community”. We now know exactly who was giving that instruction:

That’s the Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper.

So, exactly as we anticipated in January of 2017, the entire briefing of the President was a set-up to create a media narrative. After affirming that Comey carried out the objective, James Clapper then leaked the salacious details of the story to CNN. CNN then ran with the story using the hook of ‘the president has been briefed on this material’ etc.

Immediately thereafter, literally hours later, Buzzfeed published the Clinton-Steele Dossier under the auspices of it being newsworthy because CNN was now reporting on it.

This was transparently a set-up at the time we saw it happening, and the current releases of information confirm exactly that. The intelligence apparatus, namely DNI James Clapper and FBI Director James Comey, conspired to weaponize false intelligence in order to create a media narrative that would damage the incoming president and his administration. There is no other way to look at these events.

The reason we know James Clapper (DNI) and John Brennan (CIA), not James Comey, was the structured leak to CNN was specifically because CNN made a subtle mistake. On January 10th, 2017, CNN claimed the intelligence briefing included giving President Trump a two-page document:

[…] The two-page synopsis also included allegations that there was a continuing exchange of information during the campaign between Trump surrogates and intermediaries for the Russian government, according to two national security officials. […] CNN has confirmed that the synopsis was included in the documents that were presented to Mr. Trump (link)

…However, we know from James Comey’s memo and his own statements about the briefing there were no documents provided. That means the two national security officials that were leaking details to CNN, and made the mistake about Comey giving Trump the documents, were John Brennan and James Clapper.

As Michael Horowitz investigates the Comey memos, and their subsequent leaking to Daniel Richman, there’s a strong possibility this connection will be made by his investigative unit. Heck, if not, they just read it right here.

Additionally, at the time media were fixated on President Trump’s push-back against the media reports of the dossier specifically because President-elect Trump was focused on the ‘Pee-tape” aspect. We now know the reason for that perspective was simply because Comey never briefed the President-Elect on any other part. He only discussed the Russian hookers, and ridiculous nonsense.

[…] The two-page synopsis also included allegations that there was a continuing exchange of information during the campaign between Trump surrogates and intermediaries for the Russian government, according to two national security officials. (link)

No, actually, President-elect Trump was never briefed on “Trump surrogates and intermediaries for the Russian government.” James Comey, stated he never mentioned anything except the Russian hookers and pee-pee nonsense. So again, CNN was reporting on what Clapper and Brennan thought Comey had done and they were getting some of the more nuanced details incorrect.

This entire set-up is particularly Machiavellian when you look at what DNI James Clapper was saying publicly at the time. Remember this release:

Publicly DNI James Clapper is saying the next day (Jan 11th) the intelligence community does not have any confirmation as to the reliability of the Clinton-Steele dossier. Yet the previous day Clapper was leaking details of that dossier to CNN.

Lastly, and perhaps more consequentially, remember the FBI used the dossier to get the FISA warrant against Carter Page on October 21st, 2016 claiming to the FISA court the information therein was reliable. However, the DNI is saying three months later the dossier is NOT reliable.

In essence the week beginning January 10th, 2017 was the origin of the vast ‘Muh Russia’ conspiracy/collusion narrative against the incoming administration. The CNN report pushed by Jake Tapper was the distribution of leaked information from James Clapper and John Brennan. This false narrative was specifically the origin of the “collusion” angle.

Shark has been jumped. The people now see it as a desperate attempt at a coup and piling on to a man who, with all his faults, loves his country. Continuing down this road only completely destroys their dreams of a democrat congress in 2018. Please, please…continue.

Clapper or Brennan-
Clapper after all pushed Comey into the Private meeting with Trump to give Trump the Dossier !!
Or Brennan – Brennan started this with BS from British and Estonian agents. He then gave it to Harry Reid. Who gave it to Comey. But Comey had to be prodded by Clapper to give it to Trump!
Now to CNN –
CNN didn’t reveal that they (CNN) had Hired Valarie Jarrett’s Daughter in September 2016 until January 2017. Laura Jarrett was hired by CNN to cover Trump.

Note all of the activity that happened after September 2016. FISA warrant with use of Dossier in October 2016 and then in January 2017 – Comey briefs Trump on Dossier – Then CNN reveals it to the world.
So the former head of the CIA uses Foreign agents to get dirt on Trump and it ends up at CNN.
Do you think CIA Brennan knew Obama’s main adviser Valarie Jarrett? I do!!! And CNN hides for 2 months that they have hired Valarie Jarett’s daughter! Coincidence? I think not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will say this again and again: notice how quiet Pence has been; I do not trust him for a minute; I have never heard this man defend or support Trump since the election; may be I am wrong, but I doubt it.

Excellent point, VC. We must never forget that Pence is 100% a creature of the establishment GOPe. Polished at spouting the exactly correct verbiage as needed under any circumstance–he is [suddenly] keeping his mouth shut (and his powder dry??).
Why can’t he come out swinging against the tide? Is it because he is/was a plant and now is scared speechless?

Jleonard14, in all honesty i don’t think that Trump has any more “faults” than any other powerful person; we just have been deluged with them from his enemies. Remember Obama had all of his records sealed so we wouldn’t know about his shortcomings, and the msm enabled it.

Not only that, but it looks like the CNN reporter who “pressured” Comey about the dossier, leading him to crumber and advise the PE at the urging of Jim Clapper, was Valerie Jarret’s daughter. You can’t even make this stuff up.

And once the dossier was published, 10 days before the inauguration, Trump was supposed to step down in embarrassment and Pence was to be sworn in instead. Their push to have electors switch to Hillary so the EC voted to make her president “to save our Republic from Putins puppet Trump” had already failed. So had their recount scam. When Trump, who NEVER gives up, became POTUS despite their dossier scheme they shifted to getting rid of Trump via impeachment, a deep state or military coup or assassination with removal via the 25th Ammendment as a back up. Anyone who thinks some in the media won’t retire or be charged with inciting sedition aren’t tuned in to the fact that we are in a very real war for our survival. Thank God POTUS understands and is a fighter and a winner.

“That means the two national security officials that were leaking details to CNN, and made the mistake about Comey giving Trump the documents, were John Brennan and James Clapper.”

They make look like they were stupid now, and may be acting stupidly because their plan is coming unraveled and the rats are scurrying to cover their butts.

If it weren’t for the loyalty of men like Mike Rodgers in the IC, these bastards would have probably pulled this off. If it weren’t for the strength and steadfastness of our great POTUSVSG, they might have anyway.

Yes..Mike Rodgers showed remarkable patriotism and loathing of the swamp creatures who believed they were totally above the laws that govern this country and could, literally, take out a duly elected president and force an inside coup. It is incredible.

“As Michael Horowitz investigates the Comey memos, and their subsequent leaking to Daniel Richman, there’s a strong possibility this connection will be made by his investigative unit. Heck, if not, they just read it right here.”

Yes, methinks the possibility grows stronger with the publication of this article 🙂

“All it takes for evil to succeed is enough good people to do nothing.”

There are not many things in life worth dying over, but at the top of my list are my family…
[Don’t threaten or harm my family, unless you want to die. I don’t care what happens, you will die, and I will happily go to prison, if they catch me, before I kill your entire extended family! Leave my family alone, and no trouble will come from me.]

Next on my list is the Holy Concept / Word: “Freedom.”
We are [mostly] Free in America.

I live quietly as a citizen, working my job, and enjoying my nights and weekends with my family.

But lately, I have been reading about all of the things that the Left, Soros, the (D) Party, AntiFa, et cetera are doing…………………

If they want a fight, and push the other side of America to our “Popeye Point” then I will gladly join a citizen militia, and when the Left tries to overthrow the US Government, I will honor my vow to “defend America from its enemies, both foreign and domestic.”

There are only two things that I know of worth dying for, and the preservation of our American Republic is one of them. I am ready to die, firing weapons, taking names, and killing in honor of America. pray that the Liberal Fascists won’t start the rebellion soon.

Obama may have his “Community Organizers” but we have former military (like me) who will slaughter those pansies, if they try to rebel and overthrow the US Government, or our duly elected officials, including the 45th President.

John Locke believed that a social contract occurs when people transfer some of their rights to the government in order to ensure the protection of the rights that they have not surrendered. Our Founding Fathers were devotes of Locke.

When the “Social Contract” between the citizens and the US Government is fully violated, then I will be ready to take up my 2nd Amendment Arms to join with other US Citizens, to defend ourselves from the forces that would not abide by the laws enacted by our elected Legislature, and signed into law by a US President.

Good post Newt Love
God’s Grace saved our nation and us from president “H–>er” I’m right there with you and we are not alone. God has a plan and is in control. Carefully discern His voice against His Word. They will never contradict each other. These recent developments are the beginning of the end for the seditious TRAITORS. I believe that will be how their treachery is resolved. The propagandist leftist media will be further EXPOSED and ruined for what parts they have played.
Let us pray that this turns the tide and foolish sheeple see more clearly.

Out of the Mockingbird media and public view are our Marines and President quietly taking one snake down after another while preps are in motion to counter planned riots.
The many retirements in DC, the many that were flipped and snitching out others in hope to get mercy but lots more being put in order to set the stage.
Pelosi and her admission about travelling to NK admitting about missile and technology or mini nukes – explains her million dollars wealth.
Paul Ryan is not retiring because he wants to spend more time with family. Q says cleaning out the house is important and president Trump is cleaning house.

Most of the money funneling ratlines were cut ergo Antifa is not as loud as they were a year ago.
The recent EO’s by president Trump re-defined ‘terrorists’ that includes now any treasenist.

Again as Q and team says: These people are stupid – we know everything and have everything.

The leftists look at us Conservatives and accuse us of GroupThink. They are completely wrong.

Conservatives are all individuals who think for themselves. Each of us considers all of the facts and ramifications of a topic or issue, and make up our own minds what we believe and what actions we will take.

Then we talk among ourselves and discover that we believe many of the same things. We did not (do not) ask others to give us our core beliefs; we grew them ourselves in our own minds and hearts.

The left have nothing similar. The left follow their leaders who do all of their thinking for them.

As rugged individualists, Conservatives listen to our leaders, but make up our own minds if we will do what our leaders say. The old-line Republican Party discovered that we Deplorables are not controllable.

Lol. Leftist always accuse others of what they are or do. Always. It’s a quick way to learn the truth from the liars. When she accused Trump of colluding with Russia I knew she was the one with shady deals. When she accused him of raping a 13 year old I knew she was involved with child sex and rape. Once you can’t the hang of applying their accusations to them you know where to look for the truth that hasn’t broken yet.

Trump was set up by the previous administration’s intelligence people (Clapper, Brennan & Comey) during the transition. Future Presidents should refuse to meet with any out going administration officials and not do anything until they take the oath of office. The Obama administration set a bad precedent that should be a warning to any future President.

This was a warning to anyone else that thinks they can be POTUS without the blessing of our government crime family. How dare the people think they can run this government.
If this does not scare the hell out of every citizen, our country (God Bless It) is gone.

“No, actually, President-elect Trump was never briefed on “Trump surrogates and intermediaries for the Russian government.” James Comey, stated he never mentioned anything except the Russian hookers and pee-pee nonsense.”

______________________

Did it never occur to anyone that two hookers peeing on each other — while certainly bizarre — is not illegal?

If two hookers want to pee on each other, there’s no anti-hooker pee Task Force waiting to bust down the door and take anyone into custody.

Two hookers peeing on each other isn’t even prostitution — it’s just gross, lol!

Supposedly the prostitutes urinated on the bed Michelle and O slept on. That tid bit was to rile up the minorities and show President Trump being disrespectful to O. We have reached a point of ludicrous. It is difficult to listen to this nonsense anymore. The sickening part is that it is disrupting lives, ruined people (Flynn) and continues to take up the countries time. The kicker is that we are paying the salary’s for these silly men and women’s attempts to set up a President. To top it off, because the dems have no respect for him, they are for the lawlessness. They would have never allowed this to happen to zero.

Axiom #1: Anything the Dems say is projection of what they have done.
Uranium One is to Accusing Trump of Russian Collusion as
Hillary’s Incontinence problem is to the Russian Pee Story .
I think the idea began as payback for the jokes about Hillary’s Depends, then they added details exactly as you said.

I think the Dossier was something Hillary had laying around because it was originally a REAL report about Bill. They just changed the name from Clinton to Trump, Whalla! Instant “verifiable” facts. Only the name was changed to protect the lowlife scumbag Clintons. Why makes something up out of nothing when you can take an actual event and just change the name? all the interviews would be real, just not the right person.

I totally believe Bill Clinton is capable of something like this. It is totally believable in that context.

Yes,, there is certainly something very perverted and freakish about Clapper, Comey & Company’s obsession with the “pee tapes.” It turns out there may be a clinical explanation for their ungodly behavior:
“Urolagnia is a sexual fetish in which sexual excitement is associated with the sight or thought of urine or urination. The term has origins in the Greek language.”
And these are the deviants who have been running our country. May God have mercy on us.

That is great news because it means he is doing something right, the cabal is afraid of what he can do to them because he knows….
Just like the MSM personal attacks on Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) as he got closer to the target.

All the credit I have goes out to you Sundance, for the uncanny way you have of putting things together and exposing the criminal behavior of our government and the socialist that are employed by we the people. I do not have enough time in the day to express my gratitude to you for exposing the arch criminal Q-Tip, Lurch and Lawrence of Arabia.
Now if we can get Madam Depends to the gallows, this nation can heal.

If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United Statescontrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.

Seditious conspiracy is a nonnegotiable crime. No plea. No reduced sentece. All co-conspirators must be held accoutable under the law. We are a sovereign nation with a Constitution. We are not a rogue, conspiratorial ‘small group’ of co-conspirators plotting to remove a duly elected President of the United States.

And the above-referenced fine should be the cost of tax dollars to investigate and prosecute all co-conspirators divided equally amongst them. Imprisonment should be the maximum of 20 years or slightly reduced for any who have flipped giving testimoney agaisnt the top ranking co-conspirators.

I will kick their a$$ !

Seriously! I thought we were all 21st Century people, living enlightened self-interest lives, but it seems that the (D) Party want to return to their slave-holding ways of the 18th Century in the KKK controlled south.

Well, you stupid Donkeys, those White Democrat Privilege days of 3 centuries ago are over and dead and gone!

”but it seems that the (D) Party want to return to their slave-holding ways of the 18th Century in the KKK controlled South.”

There was NO Klan in the 18th century; the Klan arose after the devastation of the South by the Carpetbaggers and Military Districts ravaged the Southern people by putting african savages in charge of governing the South.

I’m trying to withhold judgement on Sessions because maybe good things will be revealed but it isn’t easy to see that he is showing some backbone to protect Rosenstein and his open ended – and HIGHLY expensive to We the People – investigation of something that is nothing but fraudulent claims against a President of the United States.

dismiss this out of hand. I don’t believe it. Not that I’m defending Sessions but this is from the Washington Post and therefore assume it is propaganda coming from a black hat. In fact, the opposite is probably true.

Did you not notice the article is from the Bezos rag WaPo which functions as the Deep States/CIAs mouthpiece? Rather than believing their narrative analyze what our enemy’s angles are in publishing it. Perhaps to splinter support for Sessions among Trumps base? Try to get us to demand Sessions be fired? Could it be the EVIL ones are afraid?

Saw a segment earlier on FNC where Tom Fitten/Judicial Watch is asking for communications b/t Comey and Mueller. Bet the next shoe to drop is proof of conspiracy to appoint the Special Counsel and Mueller was in the middle of it….. if not Mueller then the members of his team and as SD has pointed out the ‘small’ group itself. See if this starts getting traction amongst some Congress members.

“The House Intel Committee later found that former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper had given “inconsistent testimony” about his contacts with CNN, suggesting that he set up the briefing between Comey and Trump as a favor to CNN.”

Guess I’m naive. I’d never have thought that a disgusting POS like Clapper could arise out of our wonderful military. I used to respect this man. I now think he should return to whatever trailer park he grew up in. Classless traitor to the country. Puke.

I wonder everyday about how many poor souls that are locked up right now because of corrupt FBI officials and corrupt Prosecutors at the DOJ. It has been proven to be rotten from the top down. Release them all that were imprisoned by this bunch of treasonous vipers.

Our own government has turned on the citizenry of America. All that has been exposed is sedition and treason committed against we the people. We elected a President and they do not like the idea of government by the people anymore. We are at the brink of a Civil Uprising followed by Hollow Points.

All please Pray for our POTUS and AG. They are fighting for the survival of this nation. Just think of the horror if they fail.

Johnny- Agreed. Yesterday Rush was on fire with this topic. He is rarely so passionate, for want of a better word. These Swamp Devils have taken our country to the brink of a civil war and they must be punished at all costs.

Oh Mama, I’m in fear for my life from the long arm of the law
Law man has put an end to my running and I’m so far from my home
Oh Mama I can hear you a cryin’, you’re so scared and all alone
Hangman is comin’ down from the gallows and I don’t have very long
The jig is up, the news is out
They finally found me
The renegade who had it made
Retrieved for a bounty
Never more to go astray
This’ll be the end today
Of the wanted man

Myself….I’m thinking, tonight, that the door shouldn’t be hitting the AG’s or the DAG’s butt on their way out the door… “Hit the door, Jack” and don’t come around no more, no more! One more time, the question of benefits should be answered second….not just no. but, HELL NO… now quit humping my leg and get’outta’here!

When Comey first travels to Trump Tower to present his findings in the dossier to PE Trump, why did he not just bring the dossier with him? Did Comey clarify that the PE was above the PE’s clearance level? Did PE Trump ask to see the dossier?

I would have brought the whole damn thing…with stickies on every pertinent page and voiced a concern that others might make this public. “How would you like to proced, Sir?”

I suspect that DJT had already seen the dossier. He knew the answers to the questions he asked Comey, and Comey lacked candor. Among other things, this might be haunting him, like “The Tell-tale Heart”. He appears to be losing it right in front of us all.

Well, lookey here. Valerie Jarrett’s DAUGHTER appears to have a role in this too, as CNN’s reporter covering the DOJ, hired in, you guessed it, 2016. That fateful year. First Valerie Jarrett link to come out!

OK so now what? What can Clapper be charged with? We need a purge of the Washington establishment. The Clintons appear to be the linchpin for all this corruption. Years of failing to prosecute them has led to this corruption. Can Trump find somebody like Giuliani to file RICO charges against the Clinton foundation? The DOJ has to be sitting on a treasure trove of information. Yes I know the FBI is investigating but, for how much longer and do we trust the FBI? There are simple crimes like not filing the proper returns that could be filed now. Charles Ortel has detailed this information.

Seriously – who the hell pays attention to “the media” in the United States anymore?
Idiots and people criticizing the stupidity that is laughably called “the free press”.
There’s a funny thing about propaganda – if you ignore it… it goes away.

The link above goes to the story of Obama and top intel officials threatening to get rid of Mike Rogers for visiting Trump on his own and for wanting to move swiftly against ISIS in Iraq. Intel accused Rogers of being in charge when leaks occurred (lol). Mentioned also was a plan to do away with the NSA, to divide it and have oversight of its work under the control of other people. If Hillary had won, this change would take place. McCain fought that, so that is good on his part, I assume.

” Heck, if not, they just read it right here.” Oh my that made me laugh.

But going back to comy’s memo where he said ” …..clapper wanted me to speak….” I see that not as a faux pas in his write up of events, but as a cowardly way of doing something he knew to be wrong but attempting to absolve himself of responsibility.

After reading what Comey actually said in the memo compared to what CNN reported (via Clapper/Brennan?) makes me wonder if Comey purposefully set them up to eventually be exposed for their seditious acts. Not that I have any love for Comey (he deserves whatever is coming to him) but unlike Brennan and Clapper, he seems to have a thin thread of conscience left . . . I don’t know – this was my first thought . . . What do you think?

I simply love to see Sundance let go and call these people out as ‘BASTARDS’ in this post.
Thank you, SD.

Essential to remember that the FBI doesn’t video or record their interviews. They are allowed to “make up the facts” by writing what’s known as “302s”– self-serving memos that purport to relate the pertinent facts of the interview. To the extent that these 302s are true or false or mixed, in the eyes of the Courts they are considered to be FACTS and treated at factual evidence rather than as “hear say”. They make it up to serve their own purposes, and not to Serve Justice. They also change the “302s”, which proves they are not facts, which are unchangeable.
see this: https://pjmedia.com/trending/report-mccabe-may-asked-fbi-agents-change-302-forms/
Comey and the Conspiracy Cabal believed and still believe that they can create “facts”.
OOPs.

He stood six foot 8 weighs 244 and he lied to Congress under oath,on the Senate floor !!! The fb i hates comey !no respect for comey! A total disgrace!!! His book stinks, they use it for catfish bait !

I made this reply to someone above, but want to elevate it to a new post, for discussion purposes:

The leftists look at us Conservatives and accuse us of GroupThink. They are completely wrong.

As rugged individualists, Conservatives listen to our leaders, but make up our own minds if we will do what our leaders say. The old-line Republican Party discovered that we Deplorables are not controllable.

Clapper and Brennan are traitors….they have been engaged in seditious action against our duly elected President; Clapper is a retired military general officer and is eligible for trial by the military. Lock him up in Gitmo! Brennan should be tried in Federal Court and both need to have their government pensions revoked.

If people want to know, it is there showing how ABSOLUTELY CORRUPT the Federal Bureaucracy is. If the people want to do something about it, they need to FIRE THEIR CONGRESSMAN; When ‘the people’ don’t pay attention, the swamp takes over.
